PANews reported on April 5 that, according to Xinhua News Agency, Iranian Parliament Speaker Qassem Ghalibaf posted a photo of plane wreckage on social media on the 5th and commented that if the United States achieves such a "victory" again, it will be "completely destroyed." Ghalibaf wrote, "If the United States achieves three more such victories, it will be completely destroyed." Iranian media outlets, including the Iranian Students' News Agency, had previously published the same photo, claiming it showed the wreckage of a US military aircraft involved in a rescue operation. Some Iranian media outlets stated that Ghalibaf's post was intended to mock US President Trump's claim of an "imagined victory."
